That Millwall game was awful and really bloody scary. Ferguson was shite for us and yet chose to score an away goal at bloody Millwall.
Peterborough away made me realise that a Hillsborough was going to happen one day.
6,000 in a stand probably built for 2,000 - should have been electric in there, but I was genuinely worried for my safety from the moment we got in.

When Ferguson picked the ball up in our half, went through his 30 yard turning circle and started aimlessly heading towards the Millwall goal I thought nothing of it, but not a single defender came near him, so he continued into their box and stuck it away.
It was a truly bizarre goal. To make matters worse it kept him in the team when we had the truly brilliant (IMO) Ian Muir in the reserves, who was a natural finisher, and we left on a free transfer at the end of the season to become Tranmere's record goalscorer.

I was at that game as well and it was pretty hairy. We were in a pen slightly to the right of one of theirs, behind the goal. They were fighting among THEMSELVES, it was that bad. I have a mental image of a Bobby's helmet being batted up for ages...
After the game, I got on my coach and as it made it's way away, I was mouthing '1-0' to the Millwall fans walking along the road. Then we stopped at some lights, and the Millwall fans caught up and mouthed at me, 'What was that score mate?...' Worrying!
For me it has to be the Liverpool midweek game at Anfield Milk Cup i think, whent up on the old special and when we got to the station they laid on double decker bus's to fenny around a 1000 fans to the ground, we passed through a housing estate and the natives were very welcoming hurling anything they could lay their hands on at the bus's, the train journey back wasnt to clever either i remember the police on the train advising us to pull the curtains especialy under bridges to protect us from glass, and we lost 4 nil i think!
That's right - after about 20 minutes it all kicked off in their end for no apparent reason. I seem to recall there was like a no mans land about 5 yards across separating us from them with gates at the top but when the police had to go in and sort things out they had to open our gate and their gate at the same time. I was sure they were all going to surge through with general mayhem ensuing.....

One of the funniest things ive seen from away fans at the Goldstone was circa 1978 when Sheff Utd came down. The away fans were in the NE corner by the floodlight and when BHA scored, all the sheff Utd fans jumped up at the fence and gobbed their chewing gum at us......absolute classic.
BHA won the game 2-1 and my last memory was at the end, all the Sheff supporters were led down goldstone lane with a couple of police horses and dogs in front of them.....they were singing "Sheffiled...United....shall never be defeated" despite having just lost

Wasn't there another game with Sheffield United, possibly early Eighties, where there was a pitch invasion, and the two sets of fans alternately charged and retreated across the pitch? I was high up on the East Terrace North and a few little skirmishes went on there as well...
I think it was 1984/5. There were about 6 teams on the final day of the season who had a chance of making the final playoff position, and the Albion were one of them, if ALL the other results went our way.
Alan Biley scored the winner in a 1-0 win, but Manchester City went up after a 5-0 spanking of Charlton (I think). After the match the Blades fans were on the pitch running at the North Stand, who (I think) chased them to the South Stand, two people squared up, and were then chased back. This routine went on for about 15 minutes until everyone got bored.

i remember a big black sheffield united lad getting escorted out round the pitch and getting loads of stick from the east terrace. He looked at them and waved an imaginary big cock at them, which was quite funny. mid eighties dunno the year.
before and after england v holland, palace v brighton, brighton v tottenham....all in the mid to late 80's.
never really been scared in the ground that much. remember either millwall or pompey in the corner by the northstand flashing blades and my mate started givving it the biggen to them...!!!

What happened to Mike Small Jevs? He was fantastic for us in 1990/91, went to you at the end of the season, scored loads of goals in the first third of the season and forced himself into the England squad, and then seemed to turn shit faster than you can say 'David White'.
